FIRE-WOOD DRAG-SAW.

SPECIFICATION forming part of Letters Patent No. 269,209, dated December 19, 1882.

Application filed August 9, 1882. (No model.)

To all whom it may concern:

Be it known that I, PHILIP HoY,-a citizen of the United States, and resident of Bloom Centre, in the county of Logan and State of Ohio. have invented a new and useful Sawing- Machine, of which the following is a specification.

My invention is designed to allow one person to operate a drag-saw or circular saw by meansof a crank and pitman, and is so arranged thatit can be rolled from one place to another, can be adjusted for logs of different sizes, and the length of stroke varied at will.

Aisthesaw-t'rame; B,the saw-carriage,sliding on track 0 on the frame; D, the upright partof frame carrying two fly-wheels, between which is attached the rock-shaft attached to the wheels; E, the upright at the other end of frame hinged to A at K, so that it maybe leaned back or forward to raiseor lower the saw-frame and carriage to suit different-sized logs; G, the saw; H, slot in arms of fly-wheel in which the pivot of the rock-shaft is adjustable by means of nut and bolt to vary the length of stroke of the saw; I, pin passing through holes K- in upright standard, and through similar holes in the endsof saw-frame, acting both as support for the frame and pivot for the uprights to turn on, enabling the frame to be raised or lowered by changing the pin from hole to hole or by leaning the upright back or forth; M, rollers or wheelson which my apparatus is mounted.

The front standard is mounted on rollers pivoted to turn in any direction and locked by pins R, as shown in Fig.5, or mounted on casters for same purpose.

By attaching horse-power to my apparatus by slipping the belt over one of the fly-wheels I have a power-saw. By attaching a train of 40 gearing to the fly-wheel I operate a circular saw.

Figure l is a side view; Fig. 2, perspective with tly-wheels omitted; Fig.3, end view, showing fly-wheels with pitman and attachment and crank P; Fig. 4, side viewof one fly-wheel; Fig. 5, end view of front wheels.

0 is a hookedrod, that fits over pins N and holds the standards E at any angle desired.

What I desire to claim is v.

1. The combination, with the saw-carriage B, (limited in its stroke by the position of the pivot in slot H on the arms of the fly-wheel,) of the frame A, adjustable in height by means of'pinsNon the frame and arm 0011 the hinged upright K.

2. The combination ofthe saw-frame mounted
